Proofs Of affectionate veneration for his Holi-
ness como from all countries and classea
The social world IL much torn up over the
Hallett scandal just made public hero. whereof
sent you the unpleasant details two weeks ago
as an illustration OF the character Of some OF
the mon who are ardent In coercing Ireland
and In denouncing the Irish members az UNIT
to mix In parliament with Tory gentlemen.
Hallett has confessed bis guilt. only asserting
that II was not his stepdaughter. but his for
mer wife's stepdaughter whom he ruined. o
fact which does little to lessen the blackness
Of the crime when It Is considered that the girl
had been brought up with entire conf
denco in him. and looked upon him as
father. It is now proven that Hallet returned
the girls 5000 when her solicitor demanded
It. but It Is made evident that he trafiicked
with the victims money. and used his innu-
enco so well as to have her will all her fortune
Of 100000 to him. There Ia loud clamoring for
the retirement from Parliament and from the
army Of ono 30 ill-htted to bear the titles Of
honorable and gallant" Hallett declares
he will not retire. but am convinced that the
force Of public opinion will compel the Tory
Government to throw him overheard. Capt.
Selwyn. who at first challenged Hallett. refused
TO fight him when he discovered he added dis
honesty to his other crimes
The American exhibition. in which Hallett
shone a. director and By which he was used on
all occasions a. an advertising card. still con-
tinues its melancholy farce OF representing
America and It's industries. In reality 1t COM
pares with the average exhibition just
about rs fsvorsbly as Col. Rushes-Hal-
lett does with the average stepfather.
It IL much worse than nothing. as 1t
dls9races the country It misrepresents.
Numbers Of exhibitors have expressed bitter
repentance at ever having been mixed up with
the concern and deeply regret not having
needed TEE Sun. which proclaimed the char
acter Of the enterprise nom the beginning.
Money will doubtless be made. not BY the ex-
hibitors. but By the very clever English
man who lured them over here. for Buff
falo Bill has drawn many shillings
which. a. is feelinely announced all through the
Wild West camp. he will never get. The crowd
goes only to sec his show. and exhibitors are
left to mourn In the empty exhibition depart
ment.. It will be fortunate II the wind-up Of q
concern started by an Englishman Ia not
marked BY scandal which would, OF course.
DO attributed to Yankee depravity.
Cablegrnms OF the doings OF the Thistle and
Volunteer arc watched with keen interest hero.
Yachtsmen still think the Scotch boat has .
better chance. but bets arc very few. English
yachtsmen arc not. IS rule. heavy betters. as
compared With turfmen. and the professional
element generally fights shy Of race wherein
trjckery does not enter. Boxing Is increasing

The London stock market for the past week
has boon very sensitive. and influenced from
day to day by the New York market. and In
vestors In Americans have PASSED anxious
nights. To-day has been very dull. without
material change in prices Many Of the active
brokers left the street before o'clock to-day.
